London Airport
Flooding may limit
access to the UConn
Avery Point Campus.
The Groton Long Point area has a population of
about 500 people, with the greatest number of
residents occupying their homes during summer.
The western portion of the Poquonock
Bridge village contains a cluster of
households which may flood during the
event of category 3-4 hurricane.
Where is the Risk?
The Mystic and Thames rivers lead
to flooding in the western and eastern
sides of Groton respectively.
However, southern Groton is affected
the most.
Given the proximity of most rail
lines to bodies of water, some
segments of track may be flooded
from as mild as a category 1
hurricane.
Additionally, motorists may have
difficulty traversing the portions of
major roadways which cross the
Thames and Mystic rivers.
